Deadline Disclosures
Miles Weiss is an experienced investigative journalist specializing in coverage of money managers and broker dealers.
After more than three decades reporting for Bloomberg—and establishing his subject matter expertise—Miles made moves to become an independent journalist. He now covers money matters for his own Deadline Disclosures journalism brand, publishing his work on Substack.
Working closely with Miles, I designed and built deadlinedisclosures.info on the Squarespace platform. More than a personal branding site, this is a journalism portfolio showcasing a highly curated but remarkably deep selection of his best archival work for Bloomberg.
I also styled his Deadline Disclosures Substack to match his personal brand.

Miles Weiss had spent 30+ years building subject matter authority at Bloomberg — covering money managers, broker dealers, and financial disclosure with a depth few journalists could match. Going independent meant that authority needed a home: a platform that could establish his brand credibility, showcase the depth of his archival work, and position him as a destination for the sophisticated financial audience he'd spent decades earning. The challenge was creating a digital presence that felt authoritative without feeling institutional — personal without being informal.

Worked closely with Miles to map his professional identity, audience, and goals for the independent practice. Identified the core tension in the brief: the site needed to function as a curated professional portfolio while also establishing an active, forward-facing journalism brand. Developed an information architecture that organized his Bloomberg archive thematically rather than chronologically — surfacing the depth and range of his expertise without overwhelming a first-time visitor. Built the site on Squarespace for design control and editorial flexibility, ensuring Miles could maintain and update it independently post-launch. Extended the brand system to his Deadline Disclosures Substack to ensure consistency across every touchpoint where his audience might encounter his work.

Delivered a complete brand platform for Miles Weiss's independent journalism practice — a site that functions simultaneously as a professional portfolio, a journalism brand, and an archival resource for his Bloomberg body of work. The platform established the digital foundation for Deadline Disclosures as a credible, independent voice in financial journalism. The Substack brand extension ensured visual consistency across his growing subscriber audience. The engagement is a representative example of the Maciocha.Design consulting practice: brand strategy, information architecture, visual design, and platform build — delivered end to end.
